heya folks, im back from the dead, now with the same situation that i was in...i lost all my profiles and now i have to reset everything up. does anyone know what buttons/sliders/axis that the following correspond to on the G940? or where i can look?

:huh: I have read the entire thread and it doesnt outline what I asked for...:confused:

Is anybody aware of something that explains what G940 axis corresponds with each axis that is listed in BS? i.e. G940 Right Throttle = BS Joy X Joy FY = ??? and what does R1 on the throttle map out to? I am trying to find the full listing of corresponding axis so I can re-setup my stick.

Ok, Judging from the tone of the first few replies I think I came off the wrong way. Let me explain. I love Black Shark... I am not trying to have a negative view of it. You can't argue that the learning curve for it is extremely steep. I have read enough on the web/looked at enough videos to get the ability to get off the ground, and blow stuff up...hence why I was able to complete some of the missions = ) What I was trying to convey that there is SO much that I don't understand that I think it would enrich the game, but would be much easier, more fun, and a much better use of my limited gaming time, to have some instruction than to have to completely read the manual. I don't do well with ebooks on the PC, and my son stepped on my Sony reader cracking the screen, so that doesnt help me either lol. My biggest concern is getting to know enough to be able to jump into a multiplayer scenario and actually be able to interact within expectations of other players to make it fun for all. I can't tell you how many times in BF2 that I would get irritated at somebody that jumped in teh chopper with me without knowing what to do...basically using full fledged combat to be their teaching tool. I'd rather know what I need PRIOR to getting into that situation. I don't want to be "that guy" that came in and ruined the game. It wasn't even on my mind that I might ruffle a few feathers with the post, so please....sit back, relax and crack open a frosty barley pop and enjoy the time you can game. Thats what I want to do, its just faster with some help = ). Frazer, CAT_101st I'll be checking out your squads to get some help, thanks! to everybody else that posted links, I also thank you, I do check out the videos etc, but I learn better with a little instruction rather than reading(although I do check the manuals etc here and there)

I found out I was definatly wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going anywhere and putting DCS:BS down, I just want to relate my frustrations/wants out of what, from what I can tell, is a VERY giving community. First some background though. I started "simming" in 1988 when I got my first computer with Flight Sim 3.0 and then the Jetfighter series shortly there after. It was love at first sight and I LOVED these games. I had the basics down pat and could get to where I wanted to...generally.... by using the zoomed out map (hey I was like 10 years old, give me a break). Since then I had played some of the Janes series, LHX, Gunship 2000, etc. Loved every one of them also, but they were NOTHING like what was to come. Falcon (forget what version came out) and my system couldn't run it. I couldn't afford at the time to update it so I took a break.... a break that was to be for a while. You see I hit high school and found out about the opposite sex. A man must have priorities and I set them straight. I finished high school, went on an extensive college carreer and had A LOT of fun. (change my major 7 times, twice being CS lol!) Once I started in teh workforce I quickly got back into gaming, albeit it was anything I could get my hands on, MMO, RPG, FPS, Racing, Flight, I didnt care. If it was there I was playing it. Flight sim 2004 came out at some point (probably 2004 ;) ) and I picked it up. It was yet another demanding flight sim on my system, so I put it down for a bit until I could afford to have a system to play it. Oh how Lady Fate can be kind some times. I ended up as a Gaming Product Manager for a major OEM. I was able to test out all sorts of new hardware and games at a whim. I can't tell you how many joysticks, throttles, pedals etc were thrown our way to test. Anyhow life was good and I played around with FS 2004, and then FSX when it game out. But I never had any issues. I twas always business as ususal, didn't really think there was more to just getting in it and flying around. So fast forward to today: Anyhow, I am now here with a loving woman and three kiddos. I have a pretty nice gaming rig, and VERY limited spare time...yet I am hooked on gaming. I knew DCS:BS was coming and I had always loved helo combat sims so I decided to pick it up. I must say that off the bat I was bit disappointed. I couldn't get off the ground, nor really go and blow stuff up. Assigning buttons was a pain in the rear (no way to just click the button on the joystick to assign) and the learning curve on this game was WAYYYY high, even for the "easy mode" So due to the lack of time I put it down and played it here and there trying to figure the game out, but it wasn't until this past Christmas break that I really had any time ot try and figure it out. Now I spent a lot of time trying to get off the ground and figuring out how to play the game. I was able to get through a few missions (took me forever to figure out the night vision button, and the first couple night-vision missions i flew blind, only by the instruments lol!)...but I never played multiplayer. So now you know why I dont see myself as a good simmer, I jsut dont know this enough! And this is where some of you come in... I KNOW there is a lot more to this game and much more to learn as to how to really fly this chopper than I know now. I generally learn more by people telling me what to do WHILE I am doing that, so I am hoping that there is some squad out there that MIGHT be willing to show me the ropes while on TS or Vent.... Like I said before I don't have a lot of spare time, so I would rather use it playing than reading manuals. Please help! -[27]

yup that was it :lol: i need more sleep i guess :lol:

holy cow, i just realized something, i have a stinking suspision i had turned on the game settings for testing....sheesh i cant have been that stupid...yea i could have...lol brb, checking EDIT: I think cyberkut hit it head on the nail, checkign now

This is what I have

So for the past 20 hours or so I have been trying to get this G940 setup so I can at least fly with the thing and engage in some combat....but I am at my wits end so I am here to ask for some help. Everything started off mildly ok. I was able to get off the ground, but it still required some tweaking for combat controlls etc. Then everything went haywaire. I have NO idea what I did, but now whenever I use the toebrake the right pedal ALSO controls Y axis on the joystick and left brake is controlling the X. My throttle is doing the same thing. (right throttle is moving Y, left, X) Now, I have cleared ALL categories, even the keyboard commands in BS, as well as deleting all the profiles in the Logitech profiler, to no avail. I also went in and reset all the axis once I had reset all the profiles....also to no avail. I have rebooted several times, to no avail. Tried, repatching BS, to no avail. I'm lost. No idea what to do here. I have read countless threads on setting this thing up, and for my problem they all said to clear/reassign the axis...well I did that...to no avail. PLEASE HELP! I purchased the game when it launched and this is really the first time since then that I have had ANY downtime to even try and figure this out! (guess i work to much :mad:)
